You can see the red glow, a few hundred yards from our position, maybe 500 yards. You are looking at the western end of the nuns fire. You have firefighters posted down here in case that fire does come down the hill and starts threatening one of the structures here. Because the fire is up there right now, they have a mandatory evacuation in effect. These are new mandatory evacuations in effect for people near glen ellen.

That would be in just an hour from now, but from what we are gathering from the firefighters that are out here right now, the big concern are those winds. If those winds start whipping up, you are going to see more flairing up. Thats the big problem here. Unfortunately, theres a lot of dry vegetation to burn. I want to share information. This is dashcam video from the deputys vehicle taken sunday night. This is sunday night when the fires started in Sonoma County. As it has deputy is driving down the road, you can see they are surrounded by fire on either side and embers and lots of wind. It gives you a sense of how dangerous this was and is.

I want to show you video we got down the street on grant street as police went doortodoor telling people they need to be evacuated. [ knocking on door ] reporter that was Oakland Police actually helping out in this area in calistoga, notifying people there was a mandatory evacuation in place if you are north of grant street. This is because of the tubbs fire. If you remember wh it originated, it was here in calistoga. Now, folks have been preparing for this, expecting this mandatory evacuation to happen sooner than later. We spoke to a man at the gas station. What is running through your mind at that point . Next step, kind of put the plan into, you know, action. So, well go ahead and drive down and rally with family at the family winery and take a move there and go further south toward the bay area, sacramento, more family.

Bad news for the firefighters because the winds could pick up. It is going to change the direction of which way the wildfires are spreading. Now, if you are to the south of an area where a wild fire is burning or you smell that smoke, it is going to get worse. We have so many we are tracking this morning. At this point, over 70,000 acres, 70,000 acres have burned with very little containment here. Our winds are going to start to pick up.

As the smoke shifts and the fire shifts over here, you can see the local closures and more traveling between napa and fairfield. Another note, for local traffic, traffic boulevard just south of that freeway. So, we are looking at a delay. It doesnt sound like its fire related. Bart and muni recovery. Back to you. Thanks for that, mike. S coming up on today in the bay, complete coverage of the wildfires burning. Dramatic drone video showing the damage and devastation left behind in the fire. Reporter in the south bay, a chaotic scene inside a san jose strip mall. Several people are hurt. Suspects are on the run. I saw a Police Officer leaving this restaurant that could yield clues.

Lets not forget about the rest of your commute. Six vehicles involved. Thank you very much, kari and mike. We are tracking breaking news out of the south bay where police are investigating an overnight shooting at a strip mall. Today in the bays kris sanchez at the scene with what police are saying about the investigation. Kris . Reporter they are saying much. They were here about five hours inside this vietnamese business advertised online as a sports bar. Officers bringing people out, in full body armor, had them at gunpoint. At that time, they couldnt tell whether the victims were involved in the assault. That turned out not to be the case. There were four victims shot, perhaps one of them stabbed. They will recover fully. At this point, police are not giving a description of the suspect or the get away car. If that changes, we will pass that on to you. The scene is clear. No impact on traffic. As one of the officers was leaving, he had a black box that looked to be a dvr or hard drive. Perhaps theres Surveillance Video that may show who the suspects might be. Kris sanchez, today in the bay. Thanks, kris. Back to the wildfire coverage. We are looking at new drone video capturing the widespread fire in santa rosa. At least 17 people are dead in the wake of a fastmoving fire. More than 20,000 people have been evacuated from their homes. Both sonoma and napa valley have been hit hard. Jay gray joins us live at the Silverado Country Club in napa county. Good morning, jay. Reporter good morning, laura. Good morning, marcus. Yeah, that work will continue for quite some time. They are nowhere near containment here. Theres the concern that you guys were talking about, that the wind is going to pick up later today. Take a look at what the flames did to this home. Gutted. Its left to a little more than rubble and ash here. This is the scene playing out across so many neighborhoods in this area. Swallowed by the flames here. You talk about the evacuations, 20,000. Thats the number that is growing. More people moved out overnight. Federal disaster declaration. Good news. That means they will get firemanagement assistance grant, money to put more boots on the ground to help with the fight that is ongoing. We do expect that while it is calm right now and thats giving them a chance to make progress, the wind is going to pick up later and continue through thursday morning. Knowing that, firefighters are braced for the impact here. They expect to see that fan the flames and spread this fire. 17 fires right now across the state. Manpower, equipment already stretched to its limit and more on the way. This is going to be a tough go for a lot of people, for a long time. Marcus, laura . To not even know how it started, just yet. It will be interesting. Thank you, jay. We talked about the winds are going to increase. That was a big factor when it first started on sunday. It looks like with the next wave of strong winds, its not going to be as strong as it was sunday night. Still, any increase in winds when you have active wildfires is going to be a major concern. With the winds picking up later tonight, out of the north, that is going to shift some of the directions we have seen the wildfire spreading. The winds coming in at 2040 miles an hour. If you can see the flames to the north of you, you must stay alert and be ready evacuate, if you are not already under a mandatory evacuation. The embers may move south, spreading the wildfires south and the worst winds early tomorrow morning. This not only affects the north bay, but the whole bay area because our air quality has been going downhill. Its going to be very unhealthy to be out there today. That will continue to spread the smoke into the rest of the bay area. As we start out this morning, taking a live look outside, it is already smokey out there as people get out and about. Limit your outdoor exposure. Wear a breathing mask, if possible and if you feel symptoms like nausea. Coughing, we are advising you to seek medical attention. It is cool. It keeps that smoke settled in the valley and we have high humidity. Santa rosa, 41 degrees. San jose, 53 degrees. The high temperatures today, in the upper 70s for napa. 76 degrees today. 76 in livermore. San jose, today, a high of 74 degrees. Well have the winds picking up this evening into early tomorrow morning. It calms down on friday, then picks up again for the weekend with lower humidity. Not only a chance of a high fire danger today, but over the next several days. San francisco, a lot of smoke here. Temperatures mid60s. Inland areas will be warming up over the next several days. Mike has breaking news in the traffic center. I do. It wasnt related to fire. This is a problem for folks traveling the san mateo bridge. Look at this. Traffic basically stopped at the toll plaza. Around the incline, one lane open. Chp issued a sigalert. We are talking at least a half hour to clear this from the roadway. Thats the jam for 92. The dumbarton bridge is the alternate. South of the bay bridge moves smoothly. Avoid the san mateo bridge westbound. Now, to the north where the fires continue to move. The evacuation for calistoga and closure of highway 29 is new this morning. The smoke and fire between napa and fairfield. We track the area. Transit lines, recovery for bart, muni. My concern is capital corridor around the i80 area. We have delays. They are not fire related. Back to you. Thats good. Thank you, mike. 6 23. Coming up on today in the bay, Technology Changing the way the story of the california fires will be told. Progress firefighters are making on the fires burning in we continue to follow the progress firefighters are making on the fires burning in the north bay this morning. 60,000 acres have burned in sonoma, napa and solano counties. Crews have been gathering pictures and videos of all thats going on. You are seeing those shocking images here on the news. Of course, many people are gathering their own images. Scott mcgrew joins us with their own record of the disaster. Images they will show their children and grandchildren as they tell them about the fire storm of 2017. Many captured as they were fleeing their homes themselves. This is from andrea, as flames consumed the hill. Prayers for everyone that was not able to evacuate. Nick shows the devastation of his neighborhood as he drives along. House after house are gone. Firefighters showing their own video. These pictures taken from inside an alameda fire engine as they pulled up to the scene earlier this week to help. Stacy from santa rosa is the wife of a firefighter, posting these pictures of a hopeless fight in santa rosa. Firefighters head there to save homes. Some of the firefighters slept against the cinder block wall for warmth. Of course the ultimate in irony, station 5 in santa rosa, the fire station burned down as firefighters were elsewhere trying to save other peoples homes. So, all of their belongings are gone. Oh, my gosh, its heart breaking. I know our job is to inform, but you want to do so much more to help people. Coming up, we are going to talk about how much all this damage could cost. We dont know because the fires are still burning. But the estimate. Some estimate. Thank you, scott. Coming up next on today in the bay, coverage of the devastating fires in the north bay. New Evacuation Orders issued in napa and sonoma counties. Reporter as the fire intensifies. Officials are warning you to wear face masks. That story coming up. You are watching today in the bay. Right now at 6 30, inside the fire storm. Dramatic new video released this morning showing what firefighters experienced the night the Deadly Wildfires broke out in the north bay. Ferocious flames and strong winds, the perfect fuel for catastrophe. Today, a new sense of urgency before the winds start up again. A challenge for firefighters. Firefighters and the community on high alert this morning as evacuations expand. The battle far from being over. Good morning and thanks for joining us. Im laura garcia. Im marcus washington. A new Evacuation Order has been issued this morning in Sonoma County. Here is a map of the areas impacted.

There are concerns now, as another red flag warning will go into effect tonight. We have Team Coverage of the north bay wildfires this morning. We want to start out with today in the bays bob redell along the fire lines in Sonoma County as we are waiting for day to break. Reporter hopefully, the winds will not pick up. Good morning to you, laura and marcus. Outside glen ellen, sandwiched between highway 12 and the ridge behind us, which is the western edge of the nuns fire. According to cal fire, this fire is at roughly 5,000 acres, 1 contained. As you look toward the north, you can see the orange glow. As you pan right, you are going to look toward the south. You are going to see more orange glow, more orange glow. This fire is long, very expensive and according to the firefighters we have been speaking to, its been heading in a southerly direction toward more homes. Cavedale is the ridge up there. The road up there, there are homes there. Theres a sonoma fire truck out there. The firefighters have been on the line since 10 00 sunday night are here to protect any structure that is could be threatened, that are threatened by the fire coming down this hill. Thats the big question, mark, is this fire coming down this hill . Thats why the firefighters are here, if it does. If it starts getting close, we are going to put out protection lines and try to steer the fire around it for the moment. Reporter what kind of behavior are you observing . Right now, its slowly backing down the hill a little bit. If the wind picks up, you know, it is going to get intense. Reporter i want to reiterate the evacuations that were mandatory declared at the nuns fire. Moon mountain road, mission way, london way, martin, adobe way. If you live on highway 12 they want you to be ready to go, have a bag packed and ready. If the fire gets too close, they are going to ask you to leave. Back out here live, again, the western edge of the nuns fire where you are seeing flair up in different spots along the ridge here. To the right side of the screen is the southerly direction where the fire is headed. That is the area of highway 12. That is why there is so much concern for that area. If you live there, be packed and ready go. That evacuation has not been issued and hopefully wont need to be. Live in Sonoma County, bob redell, today in the bay. Good advice. Everyone has to be ready. A good illustration. We have Team Coverage of those Evacuation Orders for you. Pete suratos is live in calistoga where another neighborhood was given mandatory Evacuation Orders. What can you explain about where you are right now . Reporter thats right, marcus and laura. Good morning to you. The mandatory evacuation is for folks in calistoga, the first mandatory evacuation as it relates to the tubbs fire, if you are north of grant street. We are at lincoln avenue. At this gas station, this place where we are standing, you are seeing number of people that are gassing up as they head out of town. Either they were told to mandatory evacuate or they are going so voluntarily. Im going to show you video of Oakland Police going doortodoor in the neighborhood telling folks to get out of the area. [ knocking on door ] reporter you can feel the urgency when we were there, police informing people about the evacuation on grant street. The tubbs fire originated here in calistoga just west of where we are standing over on highway 128 in bennet lane. As i mentioned, there are plenty of people trying to get out of town right now. They are coming to this gas station where we are standing. In the past half hour, we spoke to a man who describes the feeling of not knowing what he is going to come back to after this evacuation. Its really scary, really scary. Its very dangerous. They are unpredictable is the thing. You never know what they are going to do. Even if your information is coming in spotty, thats all you have to go on. Its really, you are very unprepared, no matter what. Reporter the information you are looking at right now are for folks who, as far as evacuating the area, these are the directions given to us. Exit calistoga via silverado road south, then west on sr29 south or leave the city using sr29 south. There is a shelter set up at Napa Valley College for those who dont have a place to stay and want shelter. They can go to that location. Lets go back out here live. Folks that have been evacwaltua through the mandatory order or voluntarily. The mandatory evacuation is north of grant street. It is voluntary for remaining areas. As we are standing here, people say they are doing it voluntarily because they dont know what is going to happen next. Live in calistoga, pete suratos, today in the bay. Thank you, pete. There were Evacuation Orders in Solano County, upper and lower green valley are being evacuated off interstate 80 in fairfield. Twin sisters road is also evacuated. Meteorologist kari hall is tracking the conditions. The winds are expected to pick up tonight, which is not a good thing as they try to battle the fire. Considering we do not have containment on the wildfires, the four main fires we are watching. You saw pete suratos out there north of calistoga. The tubbs fire, we have nun fire that we are continuing to monitor and the atlas fire spreading into Solano County. All of this morning over 65,000 acres and this could spread as the new red flag warning will be in effect starting at 5 00 this evening. More on the wind speeds in a few minutes. Marcus and laura . All right. Take a look at this picture. This is from inside the Home Depot Store in napa. Check out the long line of people trying to get supplies. The most critical item on the list, face masks. Its not just north bay. Many people in parts of the bay area are dealing with unhealthy air. Today in the bays anser hassan is live in santa rosa this morning. Anser, face masks are a big demand for a lot of people in a lot of places right now. Reporter thats right, marcus. As this fire intensifies, so does the smoke and haze in the air. A lot of people here in the north bay have been wearing these face masks. As you mentioned, the problem is big demand, but they are running short. Health officials are warning, as the winds push the smoke toward areas like San Francisco and the east bay, it could create dangerous breathing conditions that way. They are adviseing people with respiratory problems to use the masks. If you have a face mask, use it. The thick smoke can have a big impact on health especially the children and elderly. Any surgical mask you see dont protect your lungs from smoke. Its best to use a mask that looks like one like this. It has a particulate respirator. The valves help protect you from bacteria and other viruses. They help reduce buildup inside the respirator. You can find them at home depot, lowes and other Home Improvement stores. It is expected to get worse and shift to the San Francisco area. We have seen the effects the fires are having. Health officials are warning everyone to wear these masks. It will help with your breathing. As you mentioned, we are here at the Finley Community center. Later, chris chmura will be here with face masks, phone charging stations and snacks and he will answer any insurance questions you have. Later in the day, he will be at napa valley Community College. If you are in need of a face mask, this would be a great opportunity to pick one up and have some of your insurance questions answered. Live in santa rosa, anser hassan, today in the bay. Good. We want to help as many people as we can. A lot of people are wondering how they can help victims of the fire. We have a link on our website with ideas. Visit www. Nbcbayarea. Com. The link is right under the top story box. As we have seen throughout the week, the air quality has been bad with the smoke moving into the bay area. Through the day, the wind pushes that smoke elsewhere into the south bay as well as the east bay and the peninsula. Dangerous air quality here because of all the things that are burning in those wildfires and that will be a major concern, not only for today, but the next couple of days. You should limit your outdoor exposure, turn the air on recirculate and wear a breathing mask. If you have symptoms, time to visit your doctor. Well talk more about this and when that smoke will be moving into the bay area. Thats coming up in a few minutes. Mike has an update on the north bay. Keep the cars out of the area if you are not in the area for emergency purposes. Limited bus service for Sonoma County and the vine bus service for napa. Smart trains are running south of santa rosa. Be careful there. Its because of closures. North of grant street closed. The smoke shifting as the fire shifts between napa and fairfield. Be careful, we are watching for that effect as well. South of there, the main traffic flow because of the commute. We had this sigalert for the san mateo bridge. Well show you the live look. They have cleared all lanes quickly. Westbound still jammed heading to foster city. Use dumbarton bridge instead. Coming up on today in the bay, continuing coverage of the wildfires, including the power outages. The steps utility crews are taking to get people back on the grid and help them connect with loved ones. In the meantime, can we begin to estimate what all of this is going to cost . Well try when today in the bay continues. Right now at 6 46, we continue to monitor the weather conditions in the north bay, near those wildfires. Sonoma county will have a cool start and temperatures rising into the 70s. Cooler this afternoon because of a front moving in thats going to shift the winds that not only affect the fire, but the health of everyone in the bay area. Ill talk more about that and what you can do to prepare thats coming up in five minutes. We continue to track this big jam across the san mateo bridge. This sixcar crash has been cleared. We are looking at recovery and what the options are in the north bay fire zone. 6 46 now. Continuing to the wildfire coverage, a new look at the scope of the devastation in the north bay. This is a time lapse look at the neighborhoods in santa rosa. Many of those streets, simply nothing left. Last night there was a meeting in santa rosa where victims gave the firefighters a spontaneous standing ovation for their efforts. Sonoma county is operating close to 40 Evacuation Centers. Overnight, we look at which ones are open for evacuees. Currently, 11 centers are at full capacity. Seven centers in santa rosa and five in sonoma. Go to our home page theres a link to them. The latest power outage situation in the north bay. We got an update from pg e. Officials say 53,000 customers are without power. Thats down from 72,000 yesterday afternoon. Right now, nearly 800 power workers are out in neighborhoods working onlines to try to restore that power. It is still too early to figure out how much all of this damage will cost. Some of those initial guesses are startling. They are. Scott mcgrew, we are talking billions of dollars here. Yeah, billions upon billions. We cannot estimate damages because the damage isnt over. The fires continue to burn. This morning, we are hearing of new evacuations. The real estate group, core logic looked at the overall value of what burned so far, they estimate 5 billion in damages, based on what it is going to cause to rebuild the homes that have been leveled or in danger of burning. 11 of the homes are at high or extreme risk of damage. By cam paomparison, the 5 bill estimate is a starting point. When you factor in all the home that is might be at risk, the numbers skyrocket, more like 65 billion. That puts it around the cost of hurricane sandy. Again, this is a worst case number. The worst disaster, Hurricane Katrina was 160 billion. All those estimates based on rebuilding. There are so many unknowns about that. We already have a shortage of construction crews in the area. Presumably, many will return to help rebuild. The effect of budget on cities and counties and towns, the cost of all those resources, the firefighters with no tourism dollars coming in for quite some time. Now, a reminder, if your house burned down, suffered 10 damage, you dont have to pay property tax. I have a link to that on twitter with more instructions. A lot of good information there for people. Thank you, scott. We want to look at whats going on with the weather. The winds are expected to build up and continue which causes a problem as we continue to battle the fire. Battling the fire and spreading the smoke. A lot of issues as we go into the next 24 hours. Smoke will be moving to the south. Also, the fires changing direction. So, if you are in one of those areas where wildfire is burning to the north of you, if you are going to be there within the next 24 hours, be very alert and prepared to move, these embers may move south and change things quickly. The worst wind is late tonight and early tomorrow morning as the red flag warnings go into effect. The temperatures are chilly, starting out in the upper 30s and 40s. 47 in napa and 50 in oakland. 53 degrees to start in san jose with high temperatures in the afternoon. Cooler today because we have the cold front moving through. That will change those winds, picking up later this evening. San jose, expect a high of 74 degrees. San francisco, today, up to 66 degrees. Here is a look at that wind speed forecast. This is so important as we go into the 8 00 hour. Sustained winds coming in at 22 Miles Per Hour. Then, as we go into late tonight, sustained winds continue at 25 to 30 Miles Per Hour, with higher gusts. The potential of gusts up to 50 Miles Per Hour will exist into at least the first part of tomorrow. So, that is going to make all the difference and could cause more wildfires to spread. In the north bay, over the next several days, we have the window of the gusty winds between tonight and tomorrow calm down on friday, and picks up for the weekend as temperatures warm up. For San Francisco, expect cooler temperatures and a lot of smoke. For the weekend, maybe a little more of the clearing, but our high temperatures in the low 70s. Inland area for the east bay and south bay, the high temperatures going from cool to warming up by sunday. Heading over to mike, closures shift through the north bay, too. As the fire shifts and the smoke moves, we have the closure shifting as well. Highway 12, through glen ellen is looking better. Be careful, lots of local road closures. I put all the orange squares up there, which i typically hide because of the cluster. Wanted to show how much closure there is. The newest closure, highway 29 north of grant street. Pete is talking about that north of grant street. We are looking at the shift on i80. No major closures, just smoke coming from green valley. Here, a new crash for the main commute getting to the maze. West 580 jammed up. An earlier crash reported at the curve and a split heading toward the bay bridge. All lanes have cleared.
